I paid to take the $50 tour last May. What a great experience. Yes, you get close enough to touch (and smell) the cows. Jonathan and Nina White are completely passionate about what they do, and they love to talk about it. My best Mother's Day ever...and it was capped off by a light lunch at the farm, served on a large wooden table underneath a large tree.

Right. Not a typo. There are two tours. The $5 tour is a general tour of the farm. The $50 one starts at 8am, watching the cows get milked and you are 'educated' by Jonathan White about how his cheese is made, and sustainable farming. We walked out to the pasture, rolled some bread dough, got to take home our loaf, and ate focaccia pizza. It ended around 2pm. It was worth it for me.
